Car was good, quite a small fuel tank though so needed to fill up a couple of times. Air conditioning and cruise control worked well.

We were thrilled with our car, and will go back through this car hire when we are back in darwin in a few months time. It was so easy, and we loved being able to zip here and there at our leisure. Thank you, thank you.

Second time I've used Alamo & will use again. Would rather prefer a car without damage though...doesn't look good

The team at Budget communicated with warmth and we’re professional and friendly. They picked us up promptly and drop off was even smoother! Great customer service all round. Car was clean, ready and well. Presented!

Although my car wasn’t new and with many scratches and repaired spots, the car itself was fine. They let us return it a bit later than required.

I didn't like the idea that I arrived Darwin at 5am and had to wait for one hour for the counter to be open. I did noticed that other rental companies open 24 hours...

A very well presented and maintained AVIS vehicle. Easy to book using QEEQ. Excellent and helpful AVIS staff at Darwin Airport. We extended our rental at the same daily rate without problem.

We picked up the car at around 5am in the morning on July 5th, and gave them our credit card for deposit purpose. However, we realised we were charged $196+ immediately for no reason as the total amount in the invoice is only $29+ for baby car seat. We wrote to them via email as after service calling is not available, until now we haven’t received any response! Don’t think I will use Avis any more!

Like: Ease of rental. Price was awesome.
Dislike: Distance to Rental car park in teeming rain (or midday sun and high humidity) hauling a suitcase in Darwin. Was a drowned rat at both pick up and drop off. Flooding to covered walkway ensured footwear was drenched too. I think a courtesy call or email during my six week rental would have been a great customer service.

should be mentioned that people need to call at Hertz counter

The car's downward slope sensor was faulty and the sensor kept blinking on the dashboard, which was distracting to me as a driver. Otherwise the service was good and the condition of the car (cleanliness, smoothness of drive etc.) was good.

There's no sign. How am I supposed to find ACE? Directions to ACE rentals ended up in staring at a fence! You "closed the gate" before I arrived, and I had to argue with a staff member to get it opened again. Pretty shitty start to the holiday.

Reminder that there is a shuttle service to pick up vehicle as we thought it was an airport pick up but other than that once I found the number all was very straight forward. Thank you we enjoy our car and we’re very happy with the service once this was resolved

Signage on pick up spot was Ace car - I was looking for easy car rentals . Perhaps I missed that info in pick up email . Our automatic i30 was perfect for our stay

The car exceeded all expectations. I arrived in Brisbane a day early and phoned ahead to see if I could receive a refund on the day not needed and the answer was yes. When I arrived to return the car they were unable to do this on their computer system so that was very frustrating having to return the car twice.

Our flight arrived late at 2am in the morning just as the Hertz counter was closing. We were given our keys and took out top insurance offered by your staff member. After a long walk to the vehicle we realized how damaged the car was but it was too late to go back as the counter was closed. We paid top insurance for car that was likely uninsurable due to its condition, balled tyres, dents and panel damage all over the car- the car was completely unsafe particularly for the weather but also the long road trips we had planned. We phoned to complian an the lady sounded completely uninterested. We were told the manager would phone us to discuss but received no contact. We are completely unhappy with the service and condition of the car and the amount we paid to insure a vehicle that was already in such poor condition.

The vehicle was in immaculate condition, ran smoothly and we returned in very good order with any marks, scratches etc. The lady at the check-in counter was very friendly and helpful.

Dislike: The cost was nearly $60 more than when we booked. I can only assume that the 10 days it took to come through was because you were waiting for the exchange rate to allow you to charge more.
